[libvirt] [PATCH 4/4] VirtualBox support

by Pritesh Kothari

Hi All, I have attached a patch which when applied on the HEAD as of today would allow virtualbox support in libvirt. It takes cares of all the stuff mentioned on the list earlier. Still if I have missed anything, please do tell me. The patches are organized as below: Patch 0/4: contains sample xml file Patch 1/4: contains diff of files already in libvirt. Patch 2/4: contains new files needed for VirtualBox support. Patch 3/4: contains support for host only and internal network. Patch 4/4: contains support for rdp in libvirt as mentioned by danpb (also had sent it separately earlier) Regards, Pritesh

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu -drive takes format= not fmt=

by Mark McLoughlin

Hey, Looks like a simple typo. Original addition of the flag to qemu was here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/qemu/qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=1e72d3b7 and support added to libvirt by this: http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=74ce659266 Cheers, Mark. From: Mark McLoughlin <markmc(a)redhat.com> Subject: [PATCH] qemu -drive takes format= not fmt= Seems like a simple typo - it has been "format=" since the flag was introduced, but we added it as "fmt=".

[libvirt] problem to connect to libvirtd as ordinary user

by Sebastian Reitenbach

Hi, I'm trying to setup an eucalyptus cloud managing my virtual xen nodes. I'm on SLES11, x86_64. I compiled libvirt-0.6.2 with the following configure parameters: ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-storage-iscsi --without-remote --without-sasl --without-openvz --without-storage-disk below the parameters I've set in the /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf file: listen_tls = 0 listen_tcp = 1 unix_sock_group = "libvirt" unix_sock_ro_perms = "0777" unix_sock_rw_perms = "0777" unix_sock_dir = "/var/run/libvirt" auth_unix_ro = "none" auth_unix_rw = "none" auth_tcp = "none" auth_tls = "none" log_level = 1 log_outputs="0:stderr" as root, I can run "virsh list" or "virsh -c xen+unix:/// list" and it just works, however, I cannot do this as user eucalyptus. The user eucalyptus is a member of the libvirt group. # id eucalyptus uid=1000(eucalyptus) gid=1000(eucalyptus) groups=1000(eucalyptus),0(root),16 (dialout),17(audio),33(video),100(users),1001(libvirt) I ran virsh through strace, to see what happens: strace virsh.bin -c xen+unix:/// list ... open("/proc/xen/privcmd", O_RDWR) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) ... Shouldn't the permissions of /proc/xen/privcmd be OK due to the libvirt.conf file? However, I changed them, and now the strace output looks like this: chmod 777 /proc/xen/privcmd strace virsh.bin -c xen+unix:/// list ... open("/proc/xen/privcmd", O_RDWR) = 3 ioctl(3, SNDCTL_DSP_RESET, 0x7fff4721a0f0) = 196611 mlock(0x7fff4721a070, 72) = 0 mlock(0x7fff47219f00, 136) = 0 ioctl(3, SNDCTL_DSP_RESET, 0x7fff47219d80) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) munlock(0x7fff47219f00, 136) = 0 munlock(0x7fff4721a070, 72) = 0 mlock(0x7fff4721a070, 72) = 0 mlock(0x7fff47219f00, 136) = 0 ioctl(3, SNDCTL_DSP_RESET, 0x7fff47219d80) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) munlock(0x7fff47219f00, 136) = 0 munlock(0x7fff4721a070, 72) = 0 mlock(0x7fff4721a070, 72) = 0 mlock(0x7fff47219f00, 136) = 0 ioctl(3, SNDCTL_DSP_RESET, 0x7fff47219d80) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) munlock(0x7fff47219f00, 136) = 0 munlock(0x7fff4721a070, 72) = 0 mlock(0x7fff4721a070, 72) = 0 mlock(0x7fff47219f00, 136) = 0 ioctl(3, SNDCTL_DSP_RESET, 0x7fff47219d80) = 0 munlock(0x7fff47219f00, 136) = 0 munlock(0x7fff4721a070, 72) = 0 mlock(0x7fff47219e00, 136) = 0 ioctl(3, SNDCTL_DSP_RESET, 0x7fff47219d80) = 0 munlock(0x7fff47219e00, 136) = 0 close(3) = 0 ... actually, there is no sound card at all, I wonder what the SNDCTL_DSP_RESET is doing there. After the close(3), the virsh is only looking for language to generate the error message: error: failed to connect to the hypervisor Those xen versions are installed: xen-doc-pdf-3.3.1_18546_12-3.1 xen-doc-html-3.3.1_18546_12-3.1 xen-3.3.1_18546_12-3.1 xen-libs-3.3.1_18546_12-3.1 xen-tools-3.3.1_18546_12-3.1 xen-kmp-default-3.3.1_18546_12_2.6.27.19_5-3.1 kernel-xen-base-2.6.27.19-5.1 kernel-xen-2.6.27.19-5.1 xen-devel-3.3.1_18546_12-3.1 any idea what is wrong here? kind regards sebastian

[libvirt] [Docs] More work on the API and architecture

by Daniel Veillard

Another patch, incomplete adding a new page api.html[.in] with the goals of describing the main API concepts, architectures, naming conventions, etc ... It includes Dan's graphics and a change of how the stylesheet process the .html.in content allowing to turn <code class='docref'>foo</code> into a link to reference for foo in the API page. Ultimately I should be able to load the API description from the stylesheet and do that link generation automagically without any markup (like all the links in the API reference). Still need to write the drivers and remote sections, and augment some of the APIs entry points, but it's a first step and better in than out.

[libvirt] XML network model type stripped on define.

by Adrian Garay

Greetings! I am currently testing Centos5.3, KVM-84, libvirt from the Centos default packages and a Vista 32 guest. I am unfortunately experiencing difficulties with the default realtek8139 network driver, the solution for which I've read would be to change the emulated network device type to e1000. When editing the xml file for my guest, I change: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='00:16:3e:38:a8:ad'/> <source bridge='br0'/> </interface> to: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='00:16:3e:38:a8:ad'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='e1000'/> </interface> and then doing a: virsh --connect qemu:///system define /etc/libvirt/qemu/vista32.xml The correct guest is updated, but the model type information I've just added is stripped from my XML and I'm once again left with an 8139 emulated nic. According to the command: qemu-kvm -net nic,model=? /dev/null I should be able to use the e1000 driver. My sincerest apologies if this is already known, or I'm missing something terribly obvious. I am new to mailing lists (this would be my first!) Thanks in advance.
